Thread: Frankenstein distributor

sooooooo i have another way to use b14 distributors in ve swaps..

you take all the b14 dist guts including the shaft (the other shaft MMAAYY WORK A SLIGHT BIT BETTER BUT NOT SURE) and then put them on the VE dist pedestal..

the Bad things
some of the screw holes dont line up an the only thing keepin everything to gether is the screw on the shaft and the dist cap bolts..

another bad thing is it puts the dist in a goofy position an im not sure YET but setting the timing much higher then 15* maybe difficult.

gotta shave the dist rotor a tad so it dont rub on the inside of the cap.. no biggy..

gotta run the spark plugs 1 hole over, so 1 uses 2... 2 uses 4... 4 uses 3... 3 uses 1... every thing rotates 90*

Good things:
IT WORKS
plugs don't interfere with the vvl solenoids


before i started the engine i put it to tdc on compression stroke to verify the dist rotor was pointing at the hole on the dist cap that i was going to use for the #1 plug wire.. sure enough it was..


so its goofy as shit an its going to get swapped for a b15 dist.. but for now it works


heres the dist





heres viprdudes stockish b14 at 25* base timing






see the difference?


i havent timed it with a light Yet, but i will see what kind of advancing i can do.. But the car runs an drives great!

I thought it looked weird. The harness for the big plug reaches ok?

Yeppers.

This is good to know. Im just waiting on a plug so i can swap the wires to fit the b14 dizzy i got from Jen36

Sent from my phone. Who cares what it is, they all do it now-a-days.

wow 91 views and only 3 people have said anything.. either im doin a shitty job over here, no one cares or this is known information lol

Only problem i see from this is that the disk and the CAS optical might not be in the same positions and my throw timing way out of wack, its something you would need to test out to make sure timing still stays in the proper order.

Well it runs, abnd it runs good, just need a timing light to adjust it a bit better, but the lynchfourtwenty special does work. And its a cool lil mod to do. It makes it look better than a leg cut off and shit jammed in places lol.

i used the b14 cas and disc an they only go on one way.. i've actually modded distributors before, but they were datsun distributors. guess same rules applied

when i time it with the light i'll let yall know how it goes.. the marks on the pully are in the right spot so i know it hasnt moved so thats always a good thing

ya it makes the dist fit really well compared to how it would of fit if i just cut the leg off...



i think if i used the ve shaft i maybe able to actually get the dist to sit in the center more to allow for more adjustability.. but we'll see.. thats a project for another time.. lol

Im just happy it runs, and it runs good
I was so happy when i heard that motor start up, and all the weird sounds the other motor made have just dissapered lol.
